This entrance porch was gently restored to bring warmth and definition back to its timber canopy. Birmingham Sandblasting carefully lifted the tired, weathered surface from the posts, brackets and framework, revealing the natural character of the oak and creating a brighter, more welcoming approach to the home.

What was needed
How the surface was prepared.
The work covered the exposed timber canopy, including its supporting posts, decorative brackets and surrounding framework. The existing dark, weathered appearance was removed with a controlled low-impact blasting process designed for timber, rather than harshly eroding the surface. The cleaned oak was left with an even, natural-looking finish ready for the customer’s chosen protective treatment.
